Teaching Lab NYC District 27 - District-wide, NY Report

2021-2022 End of Year Report

Background

To date (Jun 20, 2022), Teaching Lab has administered the following to participants from your school or district during SY21-22:

  • 39 complete responses to the End of Session Surveys that gather participant feedback on facilitation from session to session;

  • 4 complete responses to the End of Course Surveys that gather participant feedback on each PL course;

  • 0 complete responses to the first Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments and 0 to the second Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments;

  • 0 complete responses to the Baseline Diagnostic Educator Survey and 0 to the Follow-up Educator Survey that collects information on teachers’ use of curricula, mindsets, self-reported practices, and school environment.

Below are the results presented in various sections: Participant Background and Demographics Summary, Participant Perceptions, Participant Knowledge, Teachers’ Mindsets & School Environment, Administrators’ Mindsets & Observational Practices, Instructional Practice, and Student Outcomes.

Section 1: Participant Background and Demographics Summary

Teaching Lab collects information on participants’ gender and racial identity, years of experience, content area and grades taught, summarized below.

Section 2: Participant Perceptions

Teaching Lab collects participant feedback on facilitation from session to session and then on the entire course once it has concluded. Below are results for both.

Section 2a: End of Session Summary

  • 100% strongly agree or agree that the facilitators responded to the group’s needs.
  • 100% strongly agree or agree that the facilitators facilitated the content clearly.
  • 100% strongly agree or agree that the facilitators effectively built a safe learning community.
  • 97% strongly agree or agree that the facilitators demonstrated deep knowledge of the content they facilitated.

Here, by visualizing ratings of strongly agree/agree in blue areas, and all other ratings in black areas we visualize feedback over time (If there is just one point of feedback this appears as a dot).

Finally, here are some highlights from the textual feedback of the end of session survey

Responses to “What could have been better about today’s session?”

Responses to “What went well in today’s session?”

Responses to “What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?”

Section 4: Teachers’ Mindsets & School Environment

Teaching Lab administers a Diagnostic Educator Survey in the fall and a Follow-up Educator Survey in the spring. The results are below.

Section 4a: Teachers - Use of Curricula (ELA)

Teachers responded about the different curricula they use regularly and the most often. For ELA subjects we see the following results:

Section 4b: Teachers - Use of Curricula (Math)

Section 4c: Teachers - Mindsets

Teachers responded to items about the recognition of race and culture and holding high expectations for all students.

Recognizing Race and Culture Items

High Expectations Items

Teachers also responded to six items about self-confidence in their ability to engage in culturally responsive and sustaining education (CRSE) practices on a scale from 0 (not at all confident) to 10 (extremely confident). Responses were averaged across items. Higher scores correspond to higher self confidence.

Section 7: Student Outcomes

Teachers administered a student survey to at least one of their groups. Using 5-point Likert-type scales, students responded to eight items related to their teachers’ engagement in CRSE practices, three items related to teacher-student relationships, five items about self-efficacy, six items about happiness and sense of belonging, and five items about being challenged. Responses were averaged across items. Higher scores correspond to more positive experiences.
